Data Breach Response

Why It's Important
One of the most important aspects of any information security program is the Breach Response plan that outlines how your organization will respond in the event of an incident such as an attack or data breach. Unfortunately, too many companies learn how to respond to an attack only after the incident occurs.

During a breach, time is of the essence. It’s important to identify, contain, and eliminate the threat as quickly as possible.
